The office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko has firmly denied recent rumors alleging that he is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant for him. In a press statement issued by his Director of Communications, the claims were described as entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation aimed at misleading the public.
The statement also addressed another false report claiming that the senator made comments about Nigerian music icon Tuface Idibia and polygamy. The office dismissed these claims as completely untrue, stating that Senator Nwoko never made such remarks and has no involvement in such discussions.
“As a public figure, and with his wife also being an actress, it is not unusual for bloggers seeking attention to fabricate such stories. However, Senator Nwoko is currently on a national assignment, focused on delivering on his political mandate, and has no time for distractions,” the statement read.
The senator’s office further emphasized the need for responsible journalism, urging media practitioners to verify information before publication to avoid misleading the public. It also reminded journalists of the consequences of spreading fake news, as such actions can damage reputations and misinform the public.
In recent years, fake news and sensational reports have become a common trend in the Nigerian media space, particularly against high-profile figures. Many public figures have been victims of fabricated stories aimed at generating online traffic.
Senator Nwoko’s office reassured the public that authentic updates about his personal and political engagements will only be issued through official channels. It urged Nigerians to disregard these rumors and rely on credible sources for accurate information.
